(Orders from 4. Mis Goot,

& you

as may appear

most

expedient. You

will

thenceforth administer the Government of the Island and make all necessary

arrangements for its defence against negri aggression. You will cause to be

which are most likely to be healthy,

and

will

not allow

any

buildings

& to be raised by private persons which

can at all

impede

the circulation

of air in the neighbourhood of the Barracks, or interfere with the free

movement

of the troops if their services should be required.

"
